Starting Drobo Dashboard
Drobo Dashboard is an optional tool for monitoring and managing any Data Robotics device, such as Drobo or
DroboShare. Drobo Dashboard offers useful information and convenient tools and is required in order to update Data
Robotics devices to the most recent released versions of firmware and software.
Drobo Dashboard provides an easy to read System Tray icon that shows you the status of your Drobo. So if you keep
your Drobo in a location where the data bay indicators are not visible to you, you can use Drobo Dashboard to remotely
monitor the status and capacity of Drobo and DroboShare.
